The Wage Standard: What’s Wrong in the Labor Market and How to Fix It

Arindrajit Dube sets out to explain why workers at the bottom and in the middle have experienced wage stagnation in the last 40 years. And he discovers a series of labor market policies that have led to our K-shaped economy. Dube then shows how these and other policies can be changed to alleviate the rut most workers find themselves in. What one reviewer calls a “lucidly written and richly researched book,” another praises for “expanding the conventional wisdom about what is responsible economic policy.”
